KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs.
Considerable Talk About To,
 Amnnr Memhera of the Order

Considerable Talk About Town
 Among Members of the order.
 Much discussion is created among leading members of the Knights of Pythias of this city over the Burke division, K. of F., and Palm lodge, K. of F., colorsd lodge of this city and part of Burke division. They state that this division and this lodge have no con- neetion with their order. According to the rules and regulations of the Supreme lodge, K of F., only white male citizens can be- come Knights of Pythias, and until changes are made by the Supreme lodge no such di- Vision as the so-called Burke division can be legitimately formed. The Knights of Pythias hereabouts have no race prejudice, but they think that the formation of divisions which are, they maintain, in direct defiance of the Supreme lodge instructions is illegitimate and misleading, and for this reason they ob- ject to the Burke division sailing under the title of Knights of Pythias.

The Block Switch System.

The New York-New Haven branch of the Consolidated road is to adopt the block switch system. It will cost the road fully one hundred thousand dollars, but will in- sure perfect safety to travellers. There will be towers erected on an average of about three miles apart from New Haven where the track of the Consolidated road meet those of the Harlem road. The towers will be locat- ed at or r'adjacent to the stations on the road and the switches at the station will be con- trolled entirely by the operator in the tower Owing to system of interlocking, the oper- ator in one tower will be unable to put the signal to safety until the train which passed his tower has also passed the next tower be- yond, of which he is informed by a system of electric signalling. By this method each operator is check on the other, and the passing train is also check on each individ- ual operator.
